hello to everyone. just got myself a 1988 190 cosworth and ive got to say am very impressed. (im bit of an e30 lover you see) hope your not offended to much but its just a car i could never sell. any way ive always wanted a 190 so i thought sod it. as much as i like the car its annoying me abit because it wont start flick of the key and requires me to pump the pedal, but once started it ticks over fine and drives like a dream. any tips or advice would be great.

cheers

Hey there and welcome
youve come to the right place for info, advice and support on these cars.
As for the cossie slow to start, i think thats very common, especially from cold, mine is the same, but should start better when warmed up.

A valver will do a e30 325, The M3 will do the 2.3 but the 2.5 16v has got a better top end so it will be a close one. It depends also what M3 its against as they had a 200bhp one and a 215bhp. But the M3's are quick, i do like the E30's but they cant compare to a valver.
On paper the 2.5 is faster than the M3 but not as quick 60.

Glad your enjoying the car B)
